NEW REGULATION LOOMS gardlng rates provides a maximum which may be charged and allows the driver to fix his own minimum and te file this with the city. When that rate Is filed It must be charged, the purpose being to prevent the charging: of one rate to one cerion and another to another on the basis of the circumstances under which the car (nay be engaged. It Is expected that the ordinance soon will get the jitneya into trouble, inas much as the whole proposition is one of evading the Council's regulations regarding- service and protection of the public. It is the general opinion that the plan of the jitneys is to continue operating on a straight B-cent basis re-. gardless of any hourly rata. Uniform System Willi Minimum and Maximum- Rates Planned by City in Effort to' Discontinue "Use of Taxi "Law as Shield. Jitneys started operating yesterday under the new hourly baels plan which they have, devised to set around the City Council's mandate that they shall obtain a, franchise to qpntinue In busl ness. Rate cards giving the rate to be charged per hour were approved tera porarily yesterday by City Commis sioner DiecK. They will stand, until a uniform sys tem of rate cards Is printed by the ctly, When these are printed all taxicaba and for hire cars will be required to use them. Jitneys are now "for hire cars under the arrangement. To operate as "for hire" cars the .lit neys must make charges on the basis of the time consumed in trips. If the hourly rate is $1.25 that rate must be posted inside the car. and the driver will be required to charge on that basis. Minimum Rate la Prvrfded. If a trip takes 15 minutes the driver will have to collect 30. cents. ' If he falls he will be subject to arrest. If one passenger is carried that passenger must pay the full charge for the time consumed. If more than one are car ried they may each pay a share of thd charge. The driver must give on demand a card showing the actual time the lit ney was engaged and the time the pas senger finished his or her trip. Thie card must be furnished by the driver if the passenger asks for It. The provisions of the ordinance un der which the jitneys are working was framed for legitimate taxlcabs and for hire cars and therefore the provisions do not fit Jitney operation.. They were never intended for Jitneys, but the Jit neys are within their rights, accord ing to City Attorny La Roche, as long as they make the proper charges. Trouble Predicted for Jitneys. The ordinance under which they are operating was passed by the Council last Summer to curb fraudulent deal lngs of some of the for hire car oper ator with tourists. - The provision re- ENGLISH STAR COMING I'UVLllS - KEILSW-TERRT HEADS NEXT WEEK'S ORPHEtJI BILL. 757 REELS ARE VIEWED One Film Condemned In December; 2 7 Have Changes Ordered.
